Couple robbed at La Cresta home

LA CRESTA -- A man and woman were robbed Wednesday night after
three men forced their way into the couple's home, authorities
said.

Just before 6 p.m., Riverside County sheriff's deputies were
called to the 18000 block of Calle Huerto in the La Cresta area
regarding a home-invasion robbery.

The victim told deputies that he was outside when the assailants
confronted him and forced him inside the home at gunpoint, said
sheriff's Cpl. Earl Quinata. Inside, the robbers restrained the man
and his wife, then fled with stolen money, jewelry and a firearm,
authorities said.

Deputies searched the area but were unable to find the three
men.

The assailants were described as being in their 20s and 30s and
all wore dark clothing, Quinata said. No one was injured during the
crime, the corporal added.
